# Basic Installation

For most YourMAPS MLOs, maps, and props, the installation process is simple because they are Plug & Play:

1. Download the resource.
2. Unzip the folder.
3. Place the resource folder inside your server `resources` folder.
4. Add the resource to your `server.cfg`.
5. Restart your server.
6. Join the server and test the location in-game.

Example:

```cfg
ensure yourmaps_resource_name
```

Replace `yourmaps_resource_name` with the real resource folder name.

Make sure the name in your `server.cfg` matches the resource folder name exactly.

If the resource includes a `README`, `README_FIRST`, or installation notes, read them before starting the server.

***

### Important Notes

If the map does not load, check:

* The resource is correctly added to `server.cfg`
* The folder name was not changed
* The resource is starting without console errors
* You are not using another map in the same area
* You cleared cache after updating
* You read the README file included with the asset

If the issue continues, open a ticket on Discord and include the product name, resource folder name, screenshots or video, coordinates, and any server or F8 console errors.
